Re: [FINALIZED] 98 rev 4 Sonic shadow N/A. ON EBAY ENDS TONIGHT

I'm surprised this car is still on the market tbh. I've seen it at a number of local meets and its always been a stunning example of an n/a.
Adam is a sound fella and knows his stuff about cars, who ever finally gets this will be getting an absolute bargain.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Whats involved in upgrading to XEON headlamps?

Toxo has pretty much covered it all however I would add a little from my own experience. There are 3 types of HID kit out there : Dipped beam only HID dipped / Halogen main beam (this is the type I have and the main beam is useless) HID Hi / Low (HID dipped & main) Be careful what you buy as it ...

Re: How do i connect my PS3 to my mobile broadband dongle?

not sure how you'd do it the way you've said but you can get a router which you can plug the dongle into to share the internet using wi-fi, so your laptop and ps3 would both connect wirelessly to the router.

Re: Turbo engine in a n/a

Not really anything you would HAVE to do as the were little in the way of differences between the turbo and na version of the car (ie ran same suspension, brakes, etc) On any car you would be advised to at least check the suspension & brakes, wheel alignment to make sure the are ok. I would deff...

Rogue - Big Thanks to Patrick & Matt

My gearbox has been going for a month or so and it finally decided to start giving up proper like at the weekend. Matt phoned me back after I pm'd them to see if there was anything they could do for me as my usual haunts were booked solid. To my joy not only did they have a rev5 gearbox available bu...

Re: Milton Keynes Meet 23rd August (IMOC & MR2OC)

I might be able to pop over. I've got my 2 in at Wheels in Motion to get the geometry sorted out but it will be a bit of a long one as I'm getting after market adjusters on the front & back to sort out toe and camber issues previously diagnosed. Dave, I'll probably give you a ring to see if its ...

Re: TRD Anti-Roll Bars (22.2mm) complete with TRD bushes Group Buy

I am interested but I think after seeing the trama with other groupbuys here and on other sites, I would like to ask where are these coming from? It would be good to know especially if there was the chance of being stung for import charges. Also is this a standard stock item for them or is it a spec...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Anyone installed Xenon's in a rev 2?

Raybrigs will fit a uk car but........ not straight out of the box. The uk car has the light level adjusters which get in the way of the lights and mean that they don't fit properly. The easiest thing to do is get some light cowlings from an import and replace the uk one for the import ones that don...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Anyone installed Xenon's in a rev 2?

I've had HID's in my 2 for a couple of years now twinned with a set of Raybrigs. They've pasted 2 MOTs at 2 different testing centres and I love them. The only thing I would change is getting a set with HID high/low beam rather than the HID low beam and Halogen main combo that I got via a group buy ...

[Mk2] [NA] Arch rolling - what to look out for and recommendations in Herts

I think I need to get my arches rolled as my tyres are catching on the edge of the arch when the suspension has to work hard like over bumps in the quality roads around here. Its only started happening since I got some new Falken FK-452's on the rear to replace the old Goodyear GSD3's, only other th...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Need HELP Where to go for a turbo conversion??????????????

Around 2-2.5k for a rev3 conversion, plenty of threads around on here about conversions. Rogue, 3s, Woodsport, Pacific works are all places that will do conversions off the top of my head. Generally it is more cost effective to buy a Turbo unless you have a car which has had a fair bit of work done ...
